Back To Basics - Sanctification part 2.
"I prayed a prayer, I accepted Jesus in my life". "I made Jesus lord (put Jesus in charge) and he became my savior (saving from sin and punishment)." NOW WHAT? There are many who come to faith, many who believe in Jesus but few who learn to live for Jesus. How do we go from being in rebellion against Jesus to surrendering our lives to him each day? For many of us, we spent years in sin and dysfunction because of that there will be a process that needs to play out as we learn to live for God. As we spend time in God's presence, in God's word, around God's people, our spirit, emotions and our identity will become the way that God intended. It's going to take time, grace and the right environment to maintain spiritual growth. This message helps us break down the stages of Christian Growth and the things that accelerate growth.
